The first week of the holiday has passed, and it has been a very good week. It began with a reunion with an old friend, and we had such a good time together. It has been a long time since I talked that much about computers and gadgets with somebody who was not a colleague of mine. And she’s a bookworm just like me, so we talked about where we could buy e-books and audiobooks cheap online. The most annoying part was that she commanded me to read a series of books about vampires, which I’m now ‘possessed’ by, and I’ve already read the first two books in the series on the e-book reader - it’s easy and cheap, about four pounds pr book.

It was also the week where the gardener began this year's work. This first week has passed with digging out for and placing the grass concrete next to the carport - see photo.

Of course, the holidays should also be spent doing something fun, so I went out and bought a computer earlier than planned. Originally it wasn’t planned until autumn, but I sped it up till now. I was getting tired of having some data on a laptop and another set of data on a desktop. And by buying the iPod Touch, I escalated the problem. So right now, I’m spending time moving programs and data to my new computer. Besides, I have more time for that now than in the autumn, and on top of that, it’s nice to be able to do it sitting on our garden sofa, enjoying the warm weather at the same time.
